- Description
- Brora's 1982 distillate, captured just before the distillery's final closure, stands as a historical marker in Scottish whisky production and a potent expression of Highland character at cask strength. The spirit carries the distillery's signature slightly briny, waxy minerality alongside notes of heather, leather, and smoke—a profile shaped by Brora's unique production methods. The high abv reveals layers of complexity with a drying, peppery finish. Essential for those studying Highland whisky history or seeking a genuine example of a now-closed distillery.
